Movement to unite Slav peoples of eastern and central Europe!. It began in the early 19th century when Slav intellectuals studied their common cultures!. Political goals for Slavic unity increased in 1848, when a Slav congress organized by Franti?ek Palacky met in Prague to press for equal rights under Austrian rule!. In the 1860s the movement became popular in Russia, to which Pan-Slavs looked for protection from Turkish and Austro-Hungarian rule; this led Russia and Serbia into wars against the Ottoman Empire in 1876 – 77!. In the 20th century, nationalist rivalries among the Slav peoples prevented their effective collaboration!.

Alldeutscher Verband (German for "All-German Union" or "Pan-German League") was a German far-right organization which promoted pangermanism and imperialism, created in 1891 in protest to the exchange of Heligoland for Zanzibar!. Ernst Hasse was its first president, and was succeeded by Heinrich Class in 1908!. The industrialist Emil Kirdorf was also a founding member!. The Alldeutscher Verband was dissolved in 1939!.

The aim of the Alldeutscher Verband was to protest against government decisions which they believed could weaken Germany!. A strong element of its ideology included social Darwinism!. The Verband wanted to uphold German racial hygiene and were against breeding with so-called inferior races like the Jews!. The agitations of the Alldeutscher influenced the German government and helped undermine the German foreign position developed by Bismarck!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
